MAINE DISPATCHES.
CHAUTAUQUANS.
Opening OF a Series of Interesting Meet.
ings at Fryeburg.

FRYEBURG, July 81.
The annual meeting of the Northern New
England Sunday School assembly and Maine
Chautauqua Union opens at Fryeburg, this
evening. with vesper service under the di
rection of Prof. Morse. Brief addresses will
be made by officers and guests of the assem-
bly,.
The Chautauqua Normal Union announces
its object as follows:
The Sunday School teacher has one text
book, the Bible. He needs a comprehensive
knowledge of its contents; of its structure, of
its geography, its history, its growth, its in
stitutions, its teachings, and the evidence that
it comes from God. His preparation of each
lesson is made much easier, more enjoyable,
more effective by such knowledge. The Sun
day School teacher aims to commu nicate
divine truth to persons. He needs to know
the nature of those whom he would teach, the
laws which govern the communication of
knowledge, and the ways in which God has
taught men the knowledge of himself.
The course of study of the Chautauqua
Normal Union aims to secure these results.
Six courses of study and the reading OF six
text books make up the work of the Normal
Union. Two courses of the required studies
of the Chautauqua Normal Union will be
taken up at Fryeburg.

STANLEY, THE EXPLORER.
A Report Says that he has Been Shot and
Killed and Another States that lie was
Drowned.

LONDON, July 2l.
despatch from St. Thomas, West Africa
says the West African Company has received
report that Henry NJ. Stanley, the African
explorer, has been shot dead by natives with
whom his expedition was fighting in order to
obtain supplies.
Another account says that the steamer on
which Stanley was proceeding to the relief of
Emin Bey, was sunk, and that the explorer
was drowned.
The report of Stanley's death emanates
from missionary at Matadi, who received it
from a native from up country.
No direct message has been received from
the expedition.
BRUSSELS, July 81.
A despatch from St. Thomas states that
Stanley, the explorer, arrived at Aruwimi,
and departed June I'd for Wadolai
LONDON, July 81.
Sir Henry Thurston Holland, secretary of
state for the colonies, stated in the House of
Commons, this afternoon, that the govern
ment had no information about the reported
death of Henry NJ. Stanley.
The rumor regarding the death of Mr..
Stanley is utterly dscredited here. The
latest authentic news from him was from
Arumwi, and was sent under date of June 2
1t would be impossible for a native to reach
Matadi and then St. Thomas since that time.
The distance between Matadi and Arumwi
alone is thousand miles through the rough
es. country.

GEN. BUTLER.
His Visit to the Shaker Village at Poland
-Greatly Benefitted by the Poland
Spring Water.

POLAND, SPRINGS, July 81.
General Butler passed the forenoon of his
second day at TIE Poland Springs House in q
quiet way, as the day was sufficiently warm
TO make out door exercise not particularly
desirable, until the latter part of the after
noon, when the General and party accompa-
MED by Mr.. Kicker, the manager of the Po.
land Springs House, and Mr.. Alonzo II.
Briggs of Boston, started out for drive to
the Shaker Village.
After refreshing drive of a few
miles, the party arrived at the principal
house of the Shaker Society, and were very
kindly received by its inmates, who took
great pleasure in showing to the visitors the
many objects of interest in the buildings.
When the use of the old time spinning
wheel was being explained by most charm.
ing lady whose years indicated that she must
have had very considerable experience, of
the subject she was so kindly explaining, the
General electrified the company present. in
cluding the Shakers themselves, by telling
them more about the early history of the
spinning wheel, its various attachments and
the improvements in construction that have
followed its use in this country, that they
had ever dreamed of.
The old lady simply gszed at him, and re.
marked, with a smile, "He seems to know
all about it, just as he does everything else" "
After visiting the various buildings belonging
to the society, including very neat and
proceeded to drive en- around the lake, over
we'll constructed road, where the sweet
odor of the pines and the delicious charm OF
of the quiet, cool woods were well worth a
sail from Boston, especially in so comforta-
Bile vessel as the famous "America."
The General and his party reached the
hotel just as supper was being served, and
after the pleasant duty Of assisting in its
destruction had been performed, the General
retired to his parlors, where his many friends
in the hotel are always welcomed to call, and
quite a number availed themselves of the OPP
porlunity during the evening.
AT an earlV nOur the Uenerdl retired, as he
is TO be engaged in important business in
Portland on Wednesday. 1t is unc rtain
when Gen. Butler will return to his yacht,
but as he puts it, if it depended alone on his
inclination it would not be for many days,
for he feels greatly benefited by the clear,
bracing air and BY the wonderful effect of
the famous Poland Spring water.
Gen. Butler is accompanied to Portland to-
day by his friend, Mr.. Briggs, who came
from Boston with bin on the america" and
has had charge of the party since leaving the
yacht. The General returned to Poland
Springs, Wednesday night, accompanied by
Capt James +. Reed of the "America" and
MIR. Briggs.

HOUSE OF COMMONS,
DIR. Tanner Appears Before the House to
Answer TO the Charges Preferred by
Mr.. Long-rhe Matter Satisfactorily
Settled.
LONDON, July 2l,

LONDON, July 2l.
DR.. Tanner, home rule member for Middle
Cork, appeared before the Commons this af-
ternoon in obedience to summons to explain
the charge made by Mr.. Long, conservative
member tor Devices division of Wiltshire
that the doctor had, in the lobby, and in the
presence OF several members, called Long a
damned snob," and used other improper
language.
DR.. Tanner said he regretted the trouble
the House had been put to about the matter.
Mr.. Longs manner and language when he
approached him Tanner in the lobby. were
part of an arrangement 10 annoy him. Long
had twice importuned him, and said in ref
erence TO his exclusion from the division "a
matter over which he was still very sensitive)
"that was a nice sell you got"
Here Dr. Tanner said he was sorry for re-
plying to Long as he did, and withdrew the
lndecorious expression.
Long arose and denied DR.. Tanners state
ment declaring that he didn't make use of the
alleged words about a sell.
Geo. Hswksworth, bond conservative,
member of East Dorsetshire and for Bront.
ford division of Middlesex, was present and
could confirm his statements.
Hawkesworth arose and confirmed Longs
statements.
Patrick V. Hea, home rule member for
East Devegal, said he also was present and
that he heard Long say ''thst was a nice sell
you got" Hea added that DR.. Tanner was
jeered at by Mr.. Long and those that were
with him.
Sir William Goldsmith, liberal, unonist
member for South st. Psncrss, urged that
the House let the matter drop.
W. II. SIN tn, government leader, said he
regretted that he was unable to accept Gold
smiths advice.
Tanner had offered no explanation of his
failure to attend the House last Monday when
the matter was first brought up. Parliament
must mark its sense of his misconduct in
some manner. If months suspension was
too long a term it would be shortened.
Gladstone contended that DR.. Tanners
apology should suffice. Mr.. Smith had in
troduced an Ill advised element into the di
vision by suggesting that Tanner imputed a
falsehood to Long.
The speaker was interviewed and told the
House that Dr. Tanners apology should be
held to cover the otlense of which he was
accused.
Smith thereupon withdrew his motion and
the incident ended

FIJI ISLANDS.
The Governor In Chicago-The Islands
Products and the Progress of the Ma.
tives.
CHICAGO. july 81.

CHICAGO, July 81.
Sir John B. Thurston, governor of the
FIJI Islands, arrived here yesterday He is
on his way to England. He says the present
population of the islands is about 100 900
natives and 900 Europeans. The principal
products of the islands are copper, cocoanuts
and tea, and lately English planters have
succeeded in raising a good quality of coffee
and cotton.
Osing to the teachings of his predecessor,
Sir A. Gorgon the governor, says cannibal-
ism is but little prsctised and today there are
but few cannibals to be found on any of the
islands. Some years ago it was found to be
exceedingly difficult to induce the lazy and
careless natives to work on the plantations.
and the government finally concluded to send
to the island industrious Coolies from India,
and at present there are about 5000 OF this
class working there.
